Notice of Funding

This message is to notify you that program funding for the Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program will likely be exhausted by the end of April, 2010.



 

Once funding is exhausted, the Agency will not issue Conditional Commitments “subject to receipt of appropriated funds.” This is because it is not certain when additional funding will be available.



 

Limited funding may become available for disaster areas declared in 2008, or in disaster areas declared for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Limited funding may also become available as prior Agency commitments are de-obligated, however, such funding will be very limited.



 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Should you have any questions, you may contact the Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Division at (202)720-1452.

Renting vs. buying
December 17th, 2009 8:50 AM

 

If you are currently renting now may be the time to consider buying.

In many areas of the country it is now it is cheaper to purchase a home than to rent one.

When comparing always figure what your property taxes and homeowners insurance will be in addition to your principle and interest payment.

For example, if you are considering a $150,000 home  with no down payment  your monthly principle and interest payment would be approximately $829 per month.

Estimated property taxes $2000 per year.

Estimated homeowners insurance $800 per year.

Divide each of these by 12 and add them to your principle and interest payment to figure your total monthly payment.

principle and interest payment    $829

Monthly property taxes              $167

Monthly homeowner insurance     $67

 

Total monthly payment (piti)       $1063

 

With the $8000 tax credit now is a great time to stop renting and purchase a home of your own.

November 5th, 2009 4:13 PM

Congress voted to extend the $8000 tax credit and added a $6500 tax credit for current home owners.

The tax credit was extended till April 30th 2010. With this extension as long as you signed a contract to purchase by this date you have till July 1st 2010 to close.

The senate approved it yesterday and president Obama is expected to sign off by the end of the week.

To qualify for the $8000 tax credit you must be a first time home buyer which is anybody that has not owned a home in the last three years.

To qualify for the $6500 you must be a current homeowner that has lived in thier home for five of the last eight years.

Is USDA Rural Development out of money?
November 4th, 2009 9:17 AM
The answer is yes and no. Congress has not appropriated funds for their current fiscal year which started Oct. 1, 2009 but, we still have lenders closing and funding USDA Home loans knowing they will eventually appropriate the funds. There are alot of banks large and small that have stopped funding USDA Rural Development loans. They may not tell you upfront, hoping that the funds will be appropriated. If you want to make sure your mortgage gets funded on time call Steve Jeppesen@ 352-817-3080 or click the Apply now button above.

USDA Home loans and swimming pools
November 2nd, 2009 1:54 PM
USDA rural development does not allow swimming pools. The only way to purchase a home with a pool using a USDA Home loan is if the home appraises for the puchase  price without using the value of the pool. Please call Steve Jeppesen @ 352-817-3080 if you have any questions.

USDA Home Loans are not just for rural areas anymore...
July 28th, 2009 10:48 AM

 

Rural USDA mortgages are not just for rural areas anymore. The eligibility maps were created years ago before cities started sprawling into rural areas. Many areas that were previously rural are now considered suburban. Check out the eligibility map button on the top of this site to determine what areas of your state and counties qualify. You will probably be pleasantly surprised.

 

Income requirements are very generous with income limits from $70000 to $95000 depending on how many dependents you have. You can click the USDA income eligibility button at the top of this site to determine if you qualify.

 

Interest rates are currently 5.5% to 5.75% with no monthly mortgage insurance.

 

First time home buyers and people that have not owned a home for 3 years also qualify for an $8000 tax credit. This program must be taken advantage of by November 31st, 2009. This credit is like cash. If you normally receive a $1500 tax refund you will receive $9500. Wow now is the time to buy. Get approved for Free now... 

 

Apply for a USDA Home Loan Now with no application fee...
